M-4 / M-16 same difference. Unless it’s chambered in something other than 5.56 they all shoot the same. And yeah, it’s nothing like 7.62. As you are aware… you KNOW it when you’re firing 7.62!

Based on the picture it looks like he vowed to never take another shit for the rest of his life.

He said an AR-15 had too much recoil? Is he made of tissue paper, or did they mod it to fire artillery shells? Christ, one of the demos they did for us at our first live fire in basic training was having one of our fellow soldiers hold an M-16 stock UP TO HIS NUTS and fire it downrange to show just how little recoil they had. I’m not kidding, I personally witnessed this. I have also put at least 20,000 rounds through M-16’s and AR-15’s in my life. They don’t kick. Seagal is a pussy.

Not a great solution for all the anime you totally legally obtained on Yahoo.

Mainly because of that. Spinning rust drives are perfect for large media libraries.

There isn’t a hard drive made in the last 15 years that couldn’t handle watching media files. Even the SMR crap the manufacturers introduced a while back could do that without issue. For 4k video you’re going to see average transfer speeds of 50MB/s and peak in the low 100MB/s range, and that’s for high quality videos. Write speed is irrelevant for media consumption, and unless your hard drive is ridiculously fragmented, seek speed is also irrelevant. Even an old 5400 RPM SATA drive is going to be able to handle that load 99.99% of the time. And anything lower than 4K video is a slam dunk.

Everything I just said goes right out the window for a multi-user system that’s streaming multiple media files concurrently, but the vast majority of people never need to worry about that.

And you also apparently can’t read user names to see who said what.

I’m real curious why you say that. I’ve been designing systems with high IOPS data center application requirements for decades so I know enterprise storage pretty well. These drives would cause zero issues for anyone storing and watching their media collection with them.

Discuss with your doctor that’s prescribing your ADHD meds. It’s quite possible another medication or a different dose will work better.

I can only say that I had a very similar issue with concentration at work while WFH and getting on medication resolved it.

True, but it’s super cheap. I pay less for a year of Usenet and indexer than I’d pay for 2 months of basic cable or just about any streaming service.

I have been using Frugal and nzbGeek for years and have no complaints.

I solve it by paying way too much for a block of static IPs.

Usenet still exists.

For the government, it’s always worth it as long as the funding is flowing. After all, it’s not like they are footing the bill. You and I are paying for them to spy on us.

I do appreciate how hard it can be to tell the difference sometimes.

That’s old style thinking. If that type of matching isn’t already automated and running, it will be soon. They’ll click a button and find you everywhere if you’ve left enough breadcrumbs, so there won’t be any lengths to go to. And as someone who has gone through the cybersec exercises of hardening browsers against fingerprinting, knows what VPN can do and more importantly what it CAN’T do, etc, I can say there are precious few people in the world going to the lengths required to stay truly anonymous. It basically has to become your top priority and constant focus if you want to be successful.

That’s… a lot of batteries for one tablet. Where are the other 18,647?

The logic here is astounding.

What programmer in their right mind uses / instead of -?

I use the delimiter when writing out log files when I want hour or minute in the logfile name. SantaChimneyLog_20241225-0312.txt. Otherwise yeah it just gets left off.

That’s the whole point of Charity Navigator though, so you can find the few that are worth giving to.

Not to mention those of us that just lived in the wrong country for a while in the 80’s.
